...walk on the steep slopes of the Monchsberg overlooking Salzburg, an overconfident Airedale named Gigo tried to drink from a swift-flowing stream that powers Salzburg's hydroelectric system and was swept into an underground aqueduct. He finally made it to a ledge 165 yards inside the aqueduct. After firemen, swimmers and divers battled currents for four days in a vain effort to reach the yelping dog, the city fathers shut off the water flow, and while 26 factories ground to an hour's halt for lack of power and hundreds of workers stood idle, a lone fireman...

...ocean is not homogeneous but is a vast, intricate structure of separate and distinct layers, each with its own character and individuality. In some places the layers curl up and mix; in other places they do not. Through the layers mighty rivers stream on largely unknown courses, often flowing in opposite directions close to one another. Exploration of this huge anatomy is just beginning.

The resulting production...

...have been a character in a Hemingway novel if Duff Twitchell had not riveted his eye in the mirror of the Select Cafe in Paris and said, in her low, exciting voice, "It is the only miracle"-meaning love. Duff took love and drink in immoderation. Depending on the flow of checks from England, she and her upper-Bohemian lover, Pat Swazey, lived on champagne or birdseed. Duff called strangers "darling" and friends "good chaps," had a title by marriage, and as anyone may guess, was the model for Hemingway's Lady Brett Ashley. Though happily married, Hemingway...
